Non Fuggir
Flee not! Oh Flee not! For you take the heart of your faithful shepherd.
Stop! Just one kiss will be my revenge.
L’amara di partita
The bitter parting makes me weep and sigh, and if the dear return does not at once sweeten the bitter tears then you will see my great burning fire sparkle.
Se nel partir da voi
If by leaving you, my dear, I feel torment and pain, I will be exalted a thousand times at the day of my happy return. If without you, my sweetest heart, I live no more, then I will live singing of my life the whole day.
Si rido et scherzo
If I laugh and joke and sometimes sing, then I do it, oh lady, to hide for others my great sorrow devouring my heart. What shall I do? what is your advice, Cupid, to put an end to my great pain?
